Well I have to send a very high recommend for the SRD modular , I've had one for a few months now, I travel quite a bit so it's been a great traveler, so earcutter you can't go wrong with it so many replacement pads to use ,, I wish they had more options on leather though , I like my English bridle but they didn't offer it only Latino, the felt pads are really nice mediums for CRoX or sprays,, now on the other hand when I get my Kanayama I'm sure it's going to be used a lot! But the modular will always be in my travel bag. Tc. Good luck
